Sony has also released an update to the PS Vita YouTube app, which adds a number of improvements including viewing of subscriptions and channels, closed caption support, integration with the PS Vita Twitter and email apps and the option to navigate the app using buttons rather than the touchscreen.

PS Vita's 2.0 firmware was released in late November, adding support for PlayStation Plus to the handheld along with an email app and improvements to the web browser.

Sony also released a number of games for free for PlayStation Plus subscribers through the service's instant game collection feature. Games included Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack.
